Two Plymouth nurses are set to star on Channel 4's Hunted as it hits our screens this week.

The reality game show sees members of the public trying to evade capture for 28 days while professional hunters - former police, military and special services as well as psychologists and hackers - try to find them.

The hunters try to use the same methods of surveillance employed by the state, including cyber expertise and interrogating friends and family.

They also use CCTV cameras and even hack into phones and social media sites to gain information on the fugitives.

Those that remain on the run after 28 days and reach the secret extraction point win a share of £100,000.

Series four will start on Thursday, January 10, and will star three contestants from Devon, nurses Emma Davidson and Jess Kirkham, who work at Derriford Hospital and Royal Marine Matt Mason.

In 2018, Plymouth MP Johnny Mercer was crowned the winner of the celebrity special of Hunted.

In July, producers of the show were desperate to find Mr Mercer, who was partnered with TV presenter Kay Burley, and put out several tweets in a bid to stop them winning the show, offering rewards for any information about their whereabouts.

Ms Burley was captured in the second-to-last episode, however Mr Mercer made it to the very end - and ended up winning the entire show.

Working long hours, and dealing with extreme pressure, they’re ready for whatever mental or physical challenges life as a fugitive will throw at them.

Neo-natal intensive care nurse, Emma, and neuro-intensive care nurse, Jess, have been friends for just over a year after meeting at a mutual colleague’s BBQ, where they instantly hit it off.

They believe the Hunters will take them at face value and severely underestimate their abilities, but they are tougher than they look and know they can rely on each other to get them through any difficulties.

They believe their combination of skills and big personalities will give them a great chance of winning a share of £100,000.
